Goethe!

Goethe! (Original title)

Görlitz has a very special relation to this film, because the real Goethe visited the city during his lifetime, when his muse Minna Herzlieb lived here. You can still find her grave here at the Municipal cemetery.

For the cinema production, the Untermarkt was turned into a wintry setting in Strasbourg in the 18th century: with horse-drawn carriages, chariots, market stalls and cattle. And since everything is possible in the film, it even snowed during the shooting in the middle of the summer.
